    He had an effective jab at lightweight. He doesn't use it anymore.

    Floyd at lightweight was pretty exceptional in every area. He was never much of a combination puncher though. I can't remember the last time he put 3 punches together.

    These days he seems to have moved away from being a slick boxer to a potshot artist, like a past-prime Roy Jones. He's fallen in love with his own speed and ability to hit guys without setting up punches with the jab. That's going to bite him in the ass one day.

    He' still got immense speed and agility though, and most guys simply can't keep up with him. But we saw in 2 rounds what kind of problems a younger, faster Shane Mosley would have given Floyd.

    I don't think that at all. I just don't think, recently, he's proved that. People are saying he adjusted against Mosleybut I think he just started slow, as he often does. It's like Abraham -He doesn't adjust either, it's just his style to start slow and up his work rate after 4.

    Listen to the post-fight press conference. Naazim kept talking about how well Floyd adjusted. Mosley kept saying how Mayweather adjusted. Mayweather was talking about how he adjusted.

    Overall, good posting here, Jack.

    I'm tentatively expecting Pacquiao to win this at the moment, though I need to look over some of his fights again and have a bit of a think before I make a real prediction.

    There was achange in his style but I think that was just the way Mayweather prefers it. He likes to see what his opponent has, before turning it on himself. If they call that great adjustment, fine, I just don't. Same as Abraham, as I said.

    I can't wait for Ortiz to derail the train. Then we can start saying how overrated fraud was.
